She writes, 鈥淥utside of work and class, I’m an executive member for the Black Student Union, a podcast host for a show on the Doobie, and a staff writer for the 九色视频ian. Within these roles in these organizations, I have generated major change. In the 九色视频ian, I specialize in opinion articles critiquing the social and political climate of 九色视频. As a podcast host on the Doobie, I work with four other girls on a show called, 鈥淭hat Black Girl.鈥 Lastly, as an executive member of the Black Student Union, I work on events aimed towards educating the general public and supporting the Black community. After graduation, I hope to work in local politics reforming education policy. To be recognized for leadership, diversity, and service with such an award means the most to me.鈥
